Couples therapy takes time to integrate and shouldn't overwhelm either individual during the process. I believe in honoring the protectors that are often the source of couples complaints because they are attempting to defend against chaos and distress. I don't believe everyone is born with a secure attachment system early in life, which makes relationships difficult to maintain, even when one has met the right partner. Or sometimes one partner has more secure attachment, but the attachment is thwarted in the other partner - no-one's fault but still distress is present and support is important. People are very capable of developing more secure attachment given the right inputs, time, acceptance and support. My approach integrates a handful of distinctive philosophies and strategies that, in harmony, make deeper more secure attachment possible. From a newly secure base of attachment, individuals and couples can more easily expand, enjoy, connect, negotiate, navigate and move into their fuller potential. If your curious about how I've arrived at my approach, I encourage you to check out the building blocks offered in these many healing modalities:
